“After a thorough investigation looking at everything involved, we were able to determine there were parts of her story that just didn’t make any sense and didn’t add up – didn’t pan out,” he said.

In the initial report, The Galveston Daily News reported that she told police a gunman jumped into her car and directed her to a house near Texas 3 in Dickinson where she was tied to a bed. She claimed she was left alone with one man and when he fell asleep, she freed herself and fled.

She made her way to La Frontera Restaurant on Texas 3 and called called police, Rikard told The Daily News. She described her two alleged kidnappers as 6-foot-tall black men with many jailhouse tattoos.

Rikard tells The Bay Area Citizen that “there appeared to be some questions at the very beginning and that’s what led us to look at it at the angle we decided to go.” She did not give a reason why she made up the incident, he said.

Bond was set at $4,000. She was to be transferred to Galveston County Jail.
